Have you ever wished you could have your very own writers' room, where ideas are exchanged in a fast-paced environment and everyone is there to make each story the best it can be? In this generative workshop, we will apply the same camaraderie, energy, and brainstorming power that appears in television writing rooms to outlining your novel! You'll enter with nothing more than a couple of story-seed ideas, and leave with a beat sheet, character bios, setting sketches, and thematic goals for an entire novel.
Come ready to give and receive ideas in a safe environment, treating each other's stories with care, as if they were your own.
